Alluvial diamond mining remains the major source of Sierra Leone’s hard currency earnings accounting for nearly half of the country’s exports. Sierra Leone is renowned for the quality of its diamonds and for the recovery of some spectacularly large stones of very high value from its alluvial deposits.

This is a movie about diamond mining in Sierra Leone. Since the brutal civil war the Sierra Leone diamond industry is known as the source for the so called "Blood Diamonds". Diamonds that were mined under forced condition and traded on the illegal markets to purchase weapons.
More than 10 years after the war, entrepreneurs rehabilitating the mining sector; for more traceability and fair prices paid to the miners.

Afua Hirsch reports on Ghana's gold rush in a film that discovers how Chinese immigrants are profiting from industrialising the country's small-scale mining industry. She sees for herself that, for the many locals who chance losing life and limb for a piece of the same pie, the risks are rarely worth it, and explores where the responsibility for regulating this industry lies.

Liberia is one of the poorest countries in the world. It's economy mostly depends on foreign aids, directly on foreign investments and on exportation of natural resources such as iron ore, gold, rubber and timber. During the civil wars took place between 1989 and 2003 in Liberia, more than 250,000 people were killed. Actually I'm not talking about a very distant past. All these ended just 15 years ago. When the economy totally collapsed during the civil war, Liberia became the trade center for blood diamond extracted in Sierra Leone. Weapons used in the war were mostly financed in this way. In the forests of Liberia, tens of thousands of people are doing artisanal mining under very hard conditions. This is their only livelihood. Actually they just save the day at the risk of their lives. What connects them to life is their dreams.

WHO IS FATIMA JABBIE-BIO?
Fatima Jabbie was born to a Sierra Leonean mother – *Tidankay Jabbie* who hails from Kono district and a Gambian father – *Umar Jabbie,* who lived in Kono for many years as a business man, owning several properties in that part of Sierra Leone.
Fatima Jabbie-Bio grew up in Kono where she attended the Ansarul Islamic School and later attended the St Joseph Convent Secondary School in Freetown.
Through her maternal lineage, her late grandfather *Alhaji Marabou Jabbie* hailed from Kono, whilst her late grandmother, Isata Nabay hailed from Segbwema.
Fatima’s deep rooted connection in Sierra Leone as a little girl growing up in Kono, is just as colourful as Fatima’s academic and professional career.
*As a very promising and determined young woman, Fatima Jabbie-Bio holds a Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) degree in Performing Arts from the Roehampton Institute in London.*
*Her degree in Performing Art prepared her for a very successful career in the African Film Industry in London. She is one of the most elegant Nollywood Actresses and a talented scriptwriter and executive producer*.
*Fatima Jabbie-Bio has starred in many Nollywood movies such as “Battered”, “Shameful Deceit”, “Expedition Africa”, “My Soul” to name but a few.*
She has acted alongside other famous Nollywood actresses including Genevieve Nnaji and Osita Iheme (Pawpaw) in the award-winning movie “Mirror Boy”.
*She wrote and produced her own movie “Battered”. Fatima has received several awards for her talent in the film and fashion industries, including “Miss Africa 2000” in the UK and “Best Supporting Actress” for the movie “Mirror Boy”*.
*At the ZAFAA Awards 2011 in the UK, she also won “Best Actress Award” from the Black Ethnics, Fashion and Film Industry in the UK 2011. The Pan-African “Woman of the Year Award” was given to her by ‘All African Media’ based in Ghana, and in September 2013 Fatima Jabbie-Bio was voted the best female actress at the African Oscars in Washington.

Dirty Diamonds (1996): Angola boasts the most dangerous and illegal diamond mines in the world.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures#
Synopsis: From an aerial view, hundreds of men dot the crater ridden landscape. In small groups, bare chested, knee deep in murky water, they sieve gravel for hours until they spot the glitter of one tiny diamond. In town, we interview an illegal trader who compares diamond dealing to the blood diamond trade in a warzone. He takes out a small paper package from his trouser leg and slowly unwraps a cluster of uncut jewels. He carries them to bribe his way out of any difficult situations. The De Beers diamond cartel is keen to stop the illegal diamond trade. A spokesman maintains that most of Angola's diamonds are smuggled out the country and are therefore denied to the people of Angola. We would like to develop a first class diamond field and build a proper mining operation. In this way the country can be further developed. Local mining companies depend on private security firms to guarantee their safety. While filming, bandits with grenade launchers and machine guns take our reporter by surprise. After much bargaining, she is finally allowed to leave the area.

Blood Diamonds, The True Story Documentary of Sierra Leone, Angola, and the Republic of the Congo.

This video was shot in Sierra Leone's Kono diamond mining district. Infamous for the devastating effects of the civil war and the RUF's operation to mine diamonds. These diamonds, now popularly known as blood diamonds, were mined using forced labor and sold into the global diamond market. Profits were used to fuel the war. Today the diamond mines are officially "re-opened." However, the disparity between the internationally controlled mechanized diamond mine across town and this one where men purchase permission to mine from the government using only manuel labor is stark and unjust. To date there has been no investment in the working conditions of these mines for Sierra Leonins. While many of these men struggle to make ends meet the mining for diamonds creates a casino economy effect and heightens tensions. Many of these men have witnessed extreme violence and/or are ex-combatants or child soldiers themselves.
This video gives a candid view of the men and their reactions to a American female entering the mine. This would not have been possible for me to shoot if the boss had not taken a liking to me and brought me through. I did compensate him afterwards and bought upon request, and a flurry of emotion, cigarettes enough for all in the mine to receive some. Filmed by Anjanette Decarlo, IEDS doctoral scholar. 2011.

Ghana is experiencing a new gold rush but widespread corruption is causing illegal mining to flourish. A Ghanian investigative reporter uncovers corruption, even among those who are supposed to be stopping it.

Illegal small scale mining has been a problem for years along Ghana’s gold coast, but as the search for the valuable mineral continues, the environmental damage could soon be irreversible. Africa 54’s Mel Bailey takes a closer look at one village’s quest for gold.

Child Labour Day Commemorative Edition: This short film focuses on children who are involved in artisanal gold mining in Ghana. They mine to raise income for their schooling, and in some cases, to support their impoverished family.

Inside Ivory Coast's hidden gold rush takes a look at the gold mining industry in Ivory Coast. For a long time mining was seen as a dirty alternative to a more wholesome farming lifestyle. But some of the richest gold-mining potential in Africa is luring hundreds of thousands of Ivorians off the land and into the mines.

The Central African Republic is one of the poorest countries in the world, but it is also rich in natural resources. One of the official mining sectors has collapsed amid the country’s ongoing conflict, and now both sides are benefitting from the illicit trade of gold and diamonds. Clashes over control of the many mines have also created religious tension in places where there previously had been none.
VICE News traveled to mines located in the heart of the Central African Republic to see how the battle over natural resources is playing out in one of the world’s most violent conflicts.

The Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa is one of the world’s most resource-rich countries. A wide range of rare minerals can be found here in abundance, all commanding high prices in world commodity markets. Diamonds for jewellery, tantalum, tungsten and gold for electronics; uranium used in power generation and weaponry and many others. Congo has copious deposits of raw materials that are in high demand internationally but remains one of the poorest countries in the world.
From colonisation, with the horrors of slavery and other atrocities, to a turbulent and equally brutal present in which militant groups control the mines, Congo’s richness in natural resources has brought nothing but misery. Referred to as “conflict minerals”, these riches leave only a trail of death, destruction and poverty.
Under Belgian rule, Congolese labourers were often required to meet quotas when mining different minerals. Failure could mean punishment by having a hand cut off with a machete. The country gained independence in 1960, but that didn’t put a stop to slave and child labour or to crimes being committed to extract and exploit the minerals. Warring militant fractions from inside the country and beyond seized control of mines for their own benefit while terrorising local populations.
For our translator, Bernard Kalume Buleri, his country’s history of turmoil is very personal; like most Congolese people, he and his family fell victim to the unending mineral based power struggle. Born in the year of his country’s independence, he has lived through war and seen his homeland torn apart by violent looting and greed. His story is a damning testament, illustrating how nature’s bounty, instead of being a blessing, becomes a deadly curse.

Blood Diamond? How about Blood Gold? In Africa thousands of Chinese miners are engaged in a illegal mining and criminal behavior. More than 50,000 Chinese nationals are working in the gold mines of Ghana alone. As you will view in this video, the environment isn't the only area of concern. Human suffering is significant as well as damaged relations between two nations.

It’s called Dirty Gold, because it’s not just shoppers who are paying a high price for it. Dateline gets rare access to film the children forced underground and even underwater to mine the precious metal.

Placer gold ore gravity production line in Ghana Africa: The raw ore contains much gummy clay, this production line adopted rotary scrubber for clay washing and gravel removing, then adopted jig machine and spiral chute for heavy minerals collection, then the gained concentrate put into shaking table for gold separation, finally we got gold grains on the shaking table. Advantage of the production line: effective, high recovery, suitable for most of placer gold ores.
